Recap of the Week
Stocks fell for the second straight week. Large blue-chip companies held up better than riskier sectors (small-caps, tech stocks, etc.). As shown in our charts, the major indices are at key levels. From here, they could bounce up from double-bottom formations. Or they could drop farther and challenge their June lows.
Economic Data
Jobless claims and retail auto sales were better-than-expected. Core retail sales and consumer confidence came in below their forecasts.
